Fragrant Medley
49 fragrance ingredients, if I haven't miscounted, are listed in the fragrance pyramid for 'Mata Hari'. A true medley, although that’s not quite the right term, as a medley isn’t exactly something positive.
The opening is very strong, something liqueur-like comes to mind, not necessarily floral but rather balsamic and resinous.
After half an hour, 'Mata Hari' is very resinous and spicy; I think of clove and allspice, and it is completely unsweetened.
Shortly after, on the hour, a lot of wood joins the spices. After about two hours, patchouli also mixes in and rounds off the fragrance.
Spicy, soft, and oriental sweet with wood is now 'Mata Hari', and it doesn’t change much from here on.
'Mata Hari' is a fragrance that leaves me somewhat perplexed. It is not exactly feminine for me, but also not unisex. Especially in the first half of the fragrance development, 'Mata Hari' is rather masculine.
'Mata Hari' is probably best worn in cold and cool temperatures. The sillage is very good in the first three hours, but the fragrance then retreats very quickly. The longevity for me was about eight hours.
